 Main Index

    I assume, since you are at this point, you have read all of my pages.  Maybe at this time, if you haven't already done so, you would give me your thoughts on what you have read.
    If there are any question or comments you would like to make, you will find me at [email protected]  I assure you I will answer any quarries as long as I am on line.
    These pages have been designed so the only possible link that could go dead is my  E-mail address.  I intend these pages to last long after I am gone, possibly monitored only by one of my sons, or descendants.
    The Internet is a powerful tool, I have no intentions of ever letting The Orphan Boy nor what they did to him to be ever forgotten.  So beware those adults in institutions today, the charges you care for today may be a writer of the future.
    This has been a very interesting project and I am sure that it is not finished yet, for as they say, "Home Pages are always under construction."  So I suppose I will be back from time to time, touching up here and there.

        To those who may be interested, I do have genealogy records (all FTW files) dating as far back as the early 1700s.  These records are mainly of my mother's line but some (about four generations back) are of my father's line.  There are some 1700 plus persons listed, many branches traced up to 1976, a few even later.
